Nra Foundation

About Nra Foundation

A defining pattern in Nra Foundation Inc’s grantmaking is its repeated support for the National Rifle Association of America in Fairfax, Virginia: three of the largest recent awards went to that single recipient, including a $7,219,321 grant in 2025. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation backs a wide network of shooting-sports, firearms training, safety, education, and conservation organizations across the United States. Its recent grants also reach colleges, youth shooting leagues, state associations, and range-related projects, showing a mix of institutional support and program-specific funding. The foundation’s portfolio includes competitive shooting support for USA Shooting Inc and the United States National Rifle Team Inc, alongside youth-oriented grants to groups such as the USA High School Clay Target League and National Boy Scouts of America Foundation. It also funds 2nd Amendment advocacy and education through recipients including Hillsdale College, George Mason University Foundation, and the Independence Institute. Conservation and hunting-related organizations appear as well, with grants to Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation and National Wild Turkey Federation Inc. The overall picture is of a public charity funding shooting sports infrastructure, training, and advocacy at national scale.
